In him through whom we also have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him that worketh all things after the counsel of his own will,

In whom ye likewise believed, after ye had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom having believed, ye were also sealed by that Holy Spirit of promise,

Wherefore I also, since I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love to all saints,

Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come.

who were dead in trespasses and sins, Wherein ye formerly walked, according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the sons of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in time past,

On whom ye also are built together, for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

(Now that he ascended, what is it, but that he also descended first to the lower parts of the earth?

He that descended is the same that ascended also, far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)

as Christ also hath loved us, and given himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God of a sweet-smelling savour.

For the husband is head of the wife, as Christ also is head of the church:

(and he is the Saviour of the body) Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so also let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it;

Now no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, as also the Lord the church.

But that ye also may know my affairs, how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make known to you all things.
